Elijah

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Elijah was indeed one of the messengers.

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ

Do you call upon Ba‘l[28] and ignore the Best of the Creators,

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

But they rejected him, so they will surely be brought [for punishment],

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

“Peace be upon Elias.”

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.
